Curragh Of Kildare
Curragh Of Kildare
(Traditional)
Performer(s): Christy Moore
and multiple other artists
The winter it is past and the summer's come at last
The birds they are singing in the trees
Their little hearts are glad, but mine is very sad
For my true love is far away from me
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
The rose upon the briar by the water running clear
Brings joy to the linnet and the deer
Their little hearts are blessed, but mine know no rest
For my true love is far away from me
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
A livery I will wear and I'll comb back my hair
And in velvet so green I will appear
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
I'll wear a cap of black with some frills around my neck
Golden rings on my fingers I will wear
Oh yes, this I'll undertake for my own true lover's sake
For he lives in the Curragh of Kildare
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear
Oh, you who are in love and cannot it remove
I pity the pain you do endure
For experience lets me know that your hearts are full of woe
Yes, a woe that no other can cure
And straight I will repair to the Curragh of Kildare
For it's there I'll find tidings of my dear

Careless Hands
Composer(s): Bob Hilliard - Carl Sigman
First release by: Mel Tormé - 1949
Covered by multiple other artists
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And girl I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
I let my heart fall into careless hands
Careless hands broke my heart in two
You held my dreams like worthless grains of sand
Careless hands don't care when dreams slip through
I brought you joy
And dear I loved you so
But all that sunshine didn't make the roses grow
If you don't change
Someday you'll know the sorrow of careless hands
That can't hold onto love
Careless hands that can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love
Talking 'bout those hands
That can't hold onto love

Performer(s): Ernest Tubb
and multiple other artists
You said you'd love me and me alone
And that you'd always by mine my own
But someone new came and you did not
Care to remember so you forgot
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
Your last goodbye will forever ring
Within my ear and will heartaches bring
I kept my promise, I kept my vow
But you kept nothing it's so plain now
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue
Now if tomorrow these bygone years
These olden mem-ries should bring you tears
Think of our parting that luckless day
You carelessly threw my love away
Oh Careless Darlin', how carelessly
You broke the vow that you made to me
With all my heart I believed in you
But Careless Darlin' you were untrue

Firth Of Fifth
Firth Of Fifth
Composer(s): Tony Banks; Phil Collins;
Peter Gabriel; Steve Hackett; Mike Rutherford
Performer(s): Genesis;
and various other artists
The path is clear
Though no eyes can see
The course laid down long before
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen
Though many times they've seen the way to leave
He rides majestic
Past homes of men
Who care not or gaze with joy
To see reflected there
The trees, the sky, the lily fair
The scene of death is lying just below
The mountain cuts off the town from view
Like a cancer growth is removed by skill
Let it be revealed
A waterfall, his madrigal
An inland sea, his symphony
Undinal songs
Urge the sailors on
Till lured by sirens' cry
Now as the river dissolves in sea
So Neptune has claimed another soul
And so with gods and men
The sheep remain inside their pen
Until the Shepherd leads his flock away
The sands of time were eroded by
The river of constant change

Cuff Of My Shirt
Composer(s): Bob Merrill
Performer(s): Guy Mitchell
Oh I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
And deep in my heart there's a hurt
Lost the phone and address of the girl I love best
Wrote it all on the cuff of my shirt
Now we met just by chance at the Saturday dance
And she promised to date me tonight
But her address and stuff I wrote down on my cuff
And that shirt of mine's nowhere in sight
Oh her hair was red and her eyes were blue
And I dream of holding her tight
But the moon's on the rise and there's tears in my eyes
`Cause my arms will be empty tonight
While I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
The girls think I'm down here to flirt
I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap
Wash her name of the cuff of my shirt
Now we met just by chance at the Saturday dance
And she promised to date me tonight
But her address and stuff I wrote down on my cuff
And that shirt of mine's nowhere in sight
Oh her hair was red and her eyes were blue
And I dream of holding her tight
But the moon's on the rise and there's tears in my eyes
`Cause my arms will be empty tonight
While I stand in a quandary in front of the laundry
The girls think I'm down here to flirt
I'm a man without hope if the suds and the soap

Wash her name of the cuff of my shirt

Careless
Performer(s): Frank Sinatra
Careless, now that you've got me loving you
You're careless, careless in ev'rything you do
You break appointments and think you're smart
If you're not careful, you'll break my heart
Careless, now that my bridges all are burned
You're careless, careless in things where I'm concerned
Are you just careless, as you seem to be
Or do you just care less for me?
Or do you just care less for me?

First Year Blues
First Year Blues
Composer(s): Ernest Tubb
Performer(s): Ernest Tubb; Hank Williams
I’ve just been married about six months
Only six months you see
First three months was all OK
But the last three is killing me
My wife began her hissin’ cut down on her kissin’
And then failed to shine my shoes
My shirts a came up wrinkled my pants were dirt and sprinkled
Then I took the first year blues
Then she started nagging
Left the sink a sagging
With dishes piled up high
Food up on the table she said if she was able
She’ll cook something bye and bye
And I began a wondering
If I had made a blunder
When I said “I Do”
She must of read my thinking
Her eyes began a blinking
And that gal broke in two
We’ll I heard the dishes crashin’
And I was gently dashing
Getting out of sight
Right there was my honey
On who I spent all my money
Turning into dynamite
And after she exploded
Her meanness all unloaded
And things began to simmer down
I found myself a bleeding
And very much in needing
Stitches taken all around
Then she started crying
I found myself a sighing
And then I took her in my arms
I was afraid to scold her
And so I gently told her
She didn’t do a bit of harm
Now the first six months is over
And I’m much the older
And experienced with a wife
If I can with stand the next six
My friends say I’ll be fixed
To take it all my life

Was die Attentäter betrifft
die in Berlin den Anschlag auf die Deutsch-Arabische Gesellschaft verübt haben
ist die Polizei einen Schritt weiter gekommen
Die jetzt nach dem Anschlag...
They sentenced me to twenty years of boredom
For trying to change the system from within
I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'm guided by a signal in the heavens
I'm guided by this birthmark on my skin
I'm guided by the beauty of our weapons
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby
I love your body and your spirit and your clothes
But you see that line there moving through the station?
I told you, I told you, told you, I was one of those
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I don't like your fashion business mister
And I don't like these drugs that keep you thin
I don't like what happened to my sister
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I'd really like to live beside you, baby ...
And I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I'm ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
I am guided
Ah remember me, I used to live for music
Remember me, I brought your groceries in
Well it's Father's Day and everybody's wounded
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin

Before you slip into unconsciousness
I'd like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss

Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You'd rather cry, I'd rather fly
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I'll drop a line

Performer(s): Gordon Lightfoot; John Carrington
Pickin' up the pieces of my sweet shattered dream
I wonder how the old folks are tonight
Her name was Ann and I'll be damned if I recall her face
She left me not knowin' what to do
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Turnin' back the pages to the times I love best
I wonder if she'll ever do the same
Now the thing that I call livin' is just bein' satisfied
With knowin' I got no one left to blame
Carefree highway, got ta see you my old flame
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Searchin' through the fragments of my dream-shattered sleep
I wonder if the years have closed her mind
I guess it must be wanderlust or tryin' to get free
From the good old faithful feelin' we once knew
Carefree highway, let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you
Let me slip away on you
Carefree highway, got ta see you my old flame
Carefree highway, you seen better days
The mornin' after blues from my head down to my shoes
Carefree highway, let me slip away
Slip away on you

The Crystal Gazer
Composer(s): Frank Petch
Performer(s): Reggie Goff
There's a crystal gazer down at the fair
She's a lady with a rose in her hair
If you're feeling romantic
She'll be your guide
She can look into the crystal and see
What your fortune and your future will be
And they tell me the crystal
Has never lied
It seems that this weaver of dreams
Deals in romance all the day through
But her life's not the romance it seems
(Her own dreams never come true)
She can soon arrange a stranger's affairs
But she tries to hide the worries and cares
Of the one broken romance
She'll never mend
(She'll never mend)
(It seems that this weaver of dreams
Deals in romance all the day through)
But her life's not the romance it seems
(Her own dreams never come true)
She can soon arrange a stranger's affairs
But she tries to hide the worries and cares
Of the one broken romance
She'll never mend
(Of the broken romance)

She'll never mend
